I'm not sure where you live but we are now thinking of either Monday, June 15, or Tuesday, June 16 (slight preference for the 16th but we can make either day work.) So, perhaps you can do both! <br /><br />I will post this again tomorrow when we get a blank slate and see whether one or the other dates will work for most folks.<br /><br />Glad you enjoyed the Brewster General Store. Lots of fun things, including different hurricane lamp covers.

Sumptuous cinematography and strong acting.<br /><br />The owner of the SIE theatre in Denver, a small local theater, gave an introductory talk about the 35 mm film used in the version we saw. It makes for richer, deeper colors. The projectionist is a big part of the process of watching the film, running 6 reels of film, about 20 minutes at a time, 2 reels cued up at once, seamlessly. That was interesting. <br /><br />We happened to run into the owner afterwards and he wanted to know how we enjoyed the 35 mm experience.
